Oh please. No one gives tow shillings what the Tesla CPO program is called.
People do care they are treated awfully with cars presented to them for purchase that look like they came from a junk yard with actual holes in bumpers and mangled/damaged body panels.
I understand
you are perfectly fine paying $60K for a used car that that merely functions "mechanically." While you are happy with your standards, apparently other people have different standards for what is acceptable.
It's rich for you to complain about Kia when the following is what Kia provides when you buy a used car:

If only Tesla buyers can have the same peace of mind in mind a buying a quality refurbished car. And we are not even talking about the used cars offered for sale by BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche in the same price segment as Tesla.
When buying a used Tesla, this is what you get:
- No actual photos with the car listing
- No CarMax with the car listing.
- No vehicle history or if/when the annual services were performed.
- No test drive.
- No personal inspection.
- No reconditioning.
- Unknown delivery period -- could be weeks or months.
- No clue what condition the car is in.
- But hey, you get to buy and pay insurance for your sight unseen car because showing proof of insurance is part of the delivery process before you have even seen the car.
It takes an exceptional apologist to find excuses for the poor treatment of customers and not realize what an awful nightmare it is buy a car with the current broken mess.
If they would just run a decent and efficient CPO program with quality cars, they would probably sell these cars more efficiently and bring in more revenue without having their reputation needlessly tarnished.
They should not treat customers like what you see on the video below and from other experiences shared on the forums, we know this video is not an isolated incident. The whole process of purchasing a CPO cars is broken and they should fix it.
